You're talking about the good sides, but in reality, it's not the good side that got him sacked. It's the bad side unfortunately.
You seemed to skip my first point. Any coach the loses his dressing room, NO MATTER HOW GOOD(emphasis on the capitalized words), deserves to be sacked. Emery didn't only lose the dressing room, he lost the fans as well. Fans appearance to the stadium dwindled each passing week as well as losing his players. Even a guardiola or klopp can't escape such sack talk more of Emery. The reason Arteta saw out the season even with worse result than Emery was because he never lost the dressing room. So you bringing up his first season positives does no justice to counter his sack if we're been realistic.

Reason why I brought up mourinho man u sack. The moment he lost the dressing room, his 2nd position and trophies of previous seasons counted for nothing. That's the harsh reality of football.

Well, if you say lost dressing room reasons, I have no issues with that.

The truth is pride and Ego will not let many admit some facts, Saying Emey found his level is funny, i mean he has been taking midtable teams to UCL and he has done it again..

Your Arsenal is like a relagation threatened side who needs an Allardyce to take them back up, so Emery is a typical manager to take Arsenal back to UCL( May not win you league or UcL though)..

Emery may not be up to the Pep and Klopp to take your club to the top, but with proper ambitious Owners and players with guts and fire( like we saw in a Villarreal side with no special players as against the bottlers who would disgrace you by losing 4-1 in a cup final), He is good enough to at least patch this yeye club back to Europe either through 4th or Europa.

It is not easy to get rid of bad owners like the Kroenkes and the bad players, but easier with the coach.

I said it that year, no big coach will take this Arsenal job, Allegri rejected it, Ancelloti preferred Everton and Mourinho opted for Tottenham... Klopp and Pep will have their image soil also in this football club, only a youth corper will take the Arsenal job.

I can agree Emery got some things wrong, didn't communicate well, had bad relationship with some players etc but that's not the total package...

My problem with him was sticking and having faith with useless players like Xhaka instead of doing a Conte by stepping down, A Nuno Esperito could have gone to Portugal and get you fresh talents.

Jodera:
Any body talking about how it's wrong to sack Emery have forgotten how bad we really are. Like I said earlier, sacking him isn't wrong, but maybe replacing him with Arteta. It's just like man u fans asking why they sacked mourinho cos of Ole failings.

Seems we've forgotten how Emery was for us, lemme do a little refresher

1... Emery lost the dressing room. Any coach, no matter how good, who loses his dressing room deserves the sack. No two ways about it

2... Who has forgotten Emery countless formations? Today we'll do 3133, tomorrow 3313. Next week 4231, then the next 4312. The players are always confused and he also seem confused too.

3... Who can forget the shots we receive per match? Almost 15+ averagely, if not for the heroics of Leno then, na basket we for dey carry goals weekly.

4.. Against Southampton, lacazette scored the equalizer and made facial expression as if he regretted scoring. Worst part is nobody even met to celebrate with him. That tells you the unhappiness in the camp.
Our grinding machine nko?

Abeg, I detested the last days of Emery era and nobody can convince me otherwise that the board made a wrong decision to sack him. His found his level, kudos to him

Those saying he shouldn't have been sacked may have their points but what I stood/spoke against was scapegoating him all alone for the 2nd season woes.
I mean the useless board, players and even the fans taunting and asking him to play their favorites against his wish had a larger share in the blame, but Arsenal fans want to see the Fc as a big club too big for Europa and Emery only to end up outside everything in Europe.

You listed the bad sides of his tenure while forgetting the good parts, let me also recap the good times he had that could have earned a stay...

Some haven't so forgotten how he finished 5th on 70 points(better than Wenger's last 2 seasons) and was literally 1 win away from from 3rd ( due to many erratic displays from the Xhakas and Mustafis you will hardly see from Villarreal and previous teams he managed) in a season where 1st and 2nd had 99 and 98 points respectively.

Got to the European final and semi final of both domestic cups coupled with a 22games unbeaten all in his first season with a worst squad than we have now..

I mean a manager with previous 3 Europa trophies with orther 7 trophies with PSG in France will never be called a bad manager not worth a job at this present Arsenal.

Going back to an average Villarreal to trump Arsenal and Utd to the 2nd biggest club trophy in Europe and bringing them to the UCL is a clear indicator once again he wasn't the major problem at a club who can't even make euro conference after sacking him.

You sacked a manager who got you to 5th to appoint a manager who has zero coaching experience to get you to 8th and still got knocked out by the sacked manager.

What a Joke Football Club.

What a good ebening for Unai Emery.
Madrid next destination?

Every Emery's final games in Europe has been competitive, with this average Villarreal side, he has stiffed utd to penalties. Is it a coincidence that with Arsenal, it ended a cricket score?
That's the difference when you parade players with zero guts and mentally fit players.

Roland17:
You are even going too far with Liverpool..look, if Spuds sign Rangnick as coach, to God, I go vex well well because that is the person I desperately want as coach.

The spurs side I saw in the 2nd half against Leicester still look very good and competitive. I'm sure they will replace Mourinho and Kane adequately...
I won't be surprised seeing them hit a hot form and sitting comfortably over Arsenal throughout the season on the table...

That's ambition right there.

Ibrahima Konaté to Liverpool, done deal. Medicals already completed days ago. #LFC are gonna trigger €35m release clause in the next days and announce the signing from RB Leipzig. Here we go confirmed. � #LFC

Personal terms agreed since April 23 - contract until June 2026.

If Liverpool begin to compete highly in Bpl and UCL next season, Some people will start saying VAR is favoring them and what have you, This is how you know ambitious team that has set focus success and a team destined for midtable.

Akinbahm:
Baba, calm down, Arsenal don wake up fully see the attackers them don dey gel wella plus Willock dey ball for Newcastle.

Na so you go wake up in relegation zone by November again

I remember how spy want us to judge Arterta on his first full season
And it ended up the worst year ever..

Tbh, I didn't enjoy football this season, except some few games in Europe.

I'm looking forward to a good Euro games in the summer...

I hope Arsenal will grab Nuno and scrap half the squad before next season, else, we dey come back here gidigba to taunt those of you still trusting the yeye process.

Thank God Liverpool kuku qualify

Well, No st Tottenham's day,
.This will cause further pains to Arsenal fans in London, losing out to spurs on European football should taste more bitter..

Maybe this will wake them up to rebuild over the next summer, if not, I wish them more sifia pains next season.

SodO9:
And he's free

Watch Arsenal dull that package until Spurs or Utd snap him up.

Roland17:
A very serious club would have already made Arteta uncomfortable!
A serious club would have made a serious message by now about the performance of the team this season!!
A serious club would have been shopping around for Arteta’s replacement!!!
A serious club would have started clearing out and thinning out the squad, instead we are hearing a lot of the clowns will be returning next season!!!!

You would think Arsenal finished top 5 with the level of comfort and disquiet in the club about our situation. I have said it before, if we don’t do anything urgently, the decline will become normal and finishing between 7-10 will become an achievement.

Arteta does not deserve another shot at the position. He has not done anything.. You have no idea how frustrated I am with the lack of urgency and the fact that Arteta is still sitting as coach and comfortably telling us about next season.

I watched the game against Palace and it was the same rubbish!

Same way I felt and I'm feeling about this FC.
No seriousness, mediocrity, complacency and nothing exciting worth investing your heart upon.

SodO9:
A serious club should be looking out for serious replacement and Nuno have this Simone kinda of philosophy but I think top manager is what we need.
Allegri, Rodgers, simone

Yes Nuno's got it.

Top managers are mostly scam jare, I don't need media big names

BlueRayDick:
I just dey thank God say mustafi turned down the deal Arteta offered him o.

In order news I just read Nuno Espirito Santo is leaving Wolves by mutual consent. Do u think Arsenal should not be shopping for Arteta's replacement by now?

Nuno has been my preferred coach when Emery left.
Not these youth corpers

Arsenal fans: "Not spending a penny on this club until Kroenke bleeps off"

Also Arsenal fans: "Omgggg look at that away kit�, shut up and take my moneyyyy!!"

Perfect description of Arsenal fans

Jodera:
This crack me up

Happy Sallah bro

Thanks bro

If Arsenal can win remaining games and should Tottenham drop a point, Arsenal will make Europa spot on 7th.

A new management,coach and players can build on this next season, but trust me Arsenal fans will rather be celebrating " We finished ahead of spurs" trophy and " we now have better record against top teams ".

Eid Mubarak.

Kroenke, Arterta and half the squad out!!!

Jodera:
My thoughts..

1... We need an all-rounded prolific striker. A striker that has the mixture of both lacazzete attribute and Aubameyang height and scoring prowess. Raul Jimenez is someone I'm always admiring but his head fracture break, I don't know how back in form he'll be. Also he's 30yrs so the ship has sailed. But I need a striker like that

2... I need Yves Bissouma. I've watched the guy, calm on the ball, aggressive, can give pass and can push attack. Him and partey in that midfield will help push attack from deep and we'll be able to win midfield battles as well as allowing our Am to go join the attack like Bruno Fernandez

3... Attacking midfielder that can both pass and score goals. Tbh, I've not seen any yet but I wish the scout/club can get someone like that. In a nutshell, we need a cazorla type Am.

4... A good right back. Having Tierney in both left and right will be a joy to behold. Seeing chambers there irks me a lot as well as seeing bellerin. Also we need a back up Lb

Sell nketiah, Nelson, Willock, torreira, elneny, bellerin, lacazzette, Niles.
Bring back guendouzi to act as squad options

And above all, If we can get the right coach with respect to this players, then we're good to go.

I agree with everything you put there except bring the Guendozi back to the squad, have you so forgotten he was the main reason Arsenal was declining and every loss or bad performance was his fault according to Kokane?

Now that he's out of the squad, you can see how the team have improved far better than when he was here? Please don't do expensive joke o

Stick to your Xhaka and Ceballos o.

Akinbahm:
I was part of those who wanted Emery out initially after he was sacked I looked at our players nd realized we took the wrong step.

Name five players from Arsenal squad I will give u 1million reason why those players should be on bench not starting line up.

Emery does not need the celebrity players like Ozil,Neymar and Auba in his team, Just give him bunch of hardworking talented players who understands basics, ready to listen( preferably spanish), work and play with passion, then you'll see results.

He is a boss in Spain, taking an average villareal with no recogbinzed super star or big money buy in 7th position to their first European final in history is already an astonishing result for him.

Watch out Madrid/Barca snap him up in the next few years.

mostob:
I agree. They are not good enough. The most notable issue is their weak mentality. I told somebody today that I would have prefer Sanchez to willian.

I read a smart post on Instagram which says " Premier requires talent and Physical fitness, the ESR,Sake and Odegard are too soft for the future".

It's high time Arsenal began to invest in Sanchez like energetic players.

Jodera:
it looks like magic sha.
The transformation is tooooo quick and great.
Not expecting such at all. I won't even expect such quick transformation and impact from guardiola or klopp, how much more tuchel.

It is seriousness on everyone on the entire Chelsea FC, last time I saw Callunm Odoi, (he is behind thr Ziyech,Pulisic in the pecking order) that young boy looked strong,fit,fast,direct and dangerous far more than Arsenal wingers..little wonder Bayern wanted him

See Reece James, he has this serious attitude and looks, you'll know he does personal trainings.

Coupled with an owner ready to invest largely, I knew Chelsea will gel later on, a front 4 of Ziyech,Pulisic,Havert and Wenner would compete at every top level.

Chelsea were getting rid of Luiz,Willian and Pedro, Arsenal were rather grabbing them and hoping for Miracles.

Shame Shame Shame!

Roland17:
A serious club would have been making strong inquiries and sending a strong message about the failures of the club this season especially after our exit in the Europa! No.. They are busy making all the excuses in the world when they are the problems.

Please Arteta, you have had enough time to have a stamp on this team but have failed, please leave my club. We need to continue with the protests so our useless owners can pack their loads and return to the US. KSE have plunged Arsenal into our worst era.

Spot on boss!

See Chelsea, Abrahamovic has instilled that success at all cost to everyone, from manager,to players and even down to their fans..
This brought them about 3/4 Bpl trophies, 2/3 Fa cups,Carabao cups, several top4s, 2 Europa cups and now 3 UCL finals within a decade.
Chelsea fans are never patient or contented, Lampard to me had a fair and better stay in his one and half years, he took them to UCL without any summer signing that year, was still in top4 contention around December, qualified for UCL knockout stage and very much in the Fa cup, yet the fans and the management felt that's not enough.

Now see where they are, I'm certain Tuchel could face sack in the coming years if the club begings to decline.

I read Arsenal fans on instsgram giving excuses and showing Arterta and some of this average and weak players coded love like and emotional lover boy.
I said to myself, Arsenal are still not ready for big success, that suffering never reach, until Spurs win something big, only then will they be in sifia pains.
That mediocrity and failure spirit from Wenger days is still very much around everyone. Sad! Sad! Sad!

When will kroenke,Arterta and the squad pack their loads? Now or end of the season? Because that's when I'll invest my heart back in this FC.

Proudly cityzen



Let this useless club suffer small, I know they won't learn any lessons yet until they start battling with relegation team.
European super League contender

They will still not learn any lesson

Lana1:
No European football until further notice.
Roland17, Kokaneprodigy wetin u guys go come dey do on weekdays like this?

Kokane would be reporting here to give more facts as to how Emery and Guen ruined Arsenal out of Europe

kodded:
The rebuilding phase has officially begun

Time to weed out the deadwoods from the team since there is no European football next season


Hopefully this will be a start of something great for our beloved football club


Unto next season

WE MOVE

#COYG

I have been an Arsenal Supporter in the last twenty-six years but l have never seen Arsenal parade a bunch of useless, gutless, infantile, no-ambition Players like these!
Even their body-language is like that of Buhari .... FAILURE.

They should be relegated to Div 3. Disgrace Kids

#Copied from front page. Reason why I said the players too shouldn't be spared

Spy360:
Arteta has very poor attacking tactics. He just threw all his attackers hoping for someone to do magic...
#ArtetaOut Now!

Arterta and half the squad out.

Meanwhile, Unai Emery has now progressed from each of his last five Europa League semi-finals:

✅ 2014 Sevilla
✅ 2015 Sevilla
✅ 2016 Sevilla
✅ 2019 Arsenal
✅ 2021 Villarreal

The Unai Emery League.

November 2019: Arsenal fire Unai Emery

May 2021: Unai Emery beats Arsenal in the Europa League semifinals �☕️ https:///Vhb9kR3VFv

Villarreal have reached the final of a major European cup for the first time in the club's history.

Unai Emery gets one over his former side. #UEL https:///R0xgwJ27QK

A team comprising of 2/3 players costing over £50M can't beat a Villarreal team with no known star except (Moreno) or any huge buy and a supposed worst coach in ebening.

Shame Shame Shame.

SodO9:
This is Chelsea 3rd final compare to our own one


Nawa

And they won 2 Europa league trophies in that duration...
BTW, Arsenal will likely win tonight and everyone in England will jubilate its an all English final in Europe, I just hope Arsenal fans won't sing the hype song and Rather look at the bigger picture...

Arsenal has a long way to go, Europa shouldn't mask or paper the cracks, for me there's no point in winning Europa and later getting dumped back to that Europa next year and also struggling and battling mid table with the Aston Villa and Westhams.
